Since 1987, Dr. Edward Taub and his research group at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have been leaders in CI therapy research and development. Developed by Dr. Taub, the approach has been successfully used to improve function in adults and children recovering from neuromuscular dysfunction at UAB and other laboratories in the United States and abroad. Currently, research continues to examine multiple applications of CI therapy and the optimal application of CI therapy principles. The CI therapy approach represents a major paradigm shift in traditional rehabilitation because of its emphasis on a task orientation, behavioral techniques, concentrated, repetitive practice, and other characteristics. To promote understanding and appropriate use of CI therapy in clinical practice, The UAB CI Therapy Research Group, led by Dr. Taub, has developed a training program for health professionals interested in establishing CI therapy clinical programs for upper extremity (UE) and lower extremity (LE) recovery with adults recovering from stroke and other neurologic conditions. This training program will include didactic coursework followed by laboratory tracks focused on CI therapy applications for adults needing improvements in UE and LE function as well as children needing improvement in UE function. <\/span><\/p>\n The UAB CI Therapy Training Program is designed <\/b>for Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants and Certified Occupational Therapist Assistants (See participant eligibility below) with a desire to develop CI therapy programs in their clinical setting. This course will focus on CI therapy treatment for UE and LE rehabilitation for adults with chronic stroke, UE rehabilitation for children with hemiparesis <\/span>due to cerebral palsy or other neurologic conditions. The course is most appropriate for rehabilitation professionals in ambulatory settings (e.g., outpatient clinics, home health). While the training is primarily designed for clinicians, it may also be appropriate for scientists wishing to conduct CI therapy research. Participants should enter the program with a basic understanding and competency with physical rehabilitation strategies for patients recovering from neurologic injury. <\/span><\/p>\n The training consists of a 5-day training workshop focused on the CI therapy protocol. At the end of the training program, participants will understand the rationale and mechanics of performing the CI therapy protocol procedures, and their theoretical and data bases. Instructional activities will include lectures, discussions, demonstrations and opportunities to practice techniques with patients under the supervision of members of the UAB CI Therapy Research Group. A detailed workshop manual will be provided for participants including selected research articles and detailed descriptions of testing and training procedures. Videotapes demonstrating the correct methods for administering CI therapy treatment and tests will also be available for purchase.<\/p>\n Upon completion, participants will be able to:<\/p>\n To apply to a course\/seminar\/workshop, please fill in the on-line form or send an email to info@fizioterapijaljubljana.si<\/a>. 50% of the fee must be paid within 8 days after you send your application, after that a pro forma invoice will be sent to your address.
